...Kahn gives credit to Dr. H. U. Nolan, an English industrial chemist, for the suggestion of the process of manufacture, though its medical application was worked out by himself and Dr. McKee. Dr. Kahn is 36 years old, a graduate of Cornell Medical School, and has spent four years in constant research on problems of metabolism. Physicians and chemists who are in a position to judge have accepted the scientific foundation of intarvin as sound, and there is reason to believe that it will soon take its place beside insulin as an approved treatment, though neither can yet be called...
Synthetic rubber, long a goal of the "creative chemists," was successfully produced by Duisberg, the German chemist, and Perkin, the Englishman, some years ago. But the processes were not commercially practicable. Now Plotnikoff, also from Germany, has found a feasible formula. A uranium salt, used in conjunction with sunlight, produces an effect similar to, but much cheaper than, ultraviolet rays. The action of these rays on vinyl chloride made from acetylene, results in caoutchoue chloride, which can easily be converted into rubber. The American Association for the Advancement of Science, foreseeing the immense importance of knowing how to utilize...
